As above.

I am after a particular part, and so far I can only find it in Japan (and possibly Taiwan). I am currently trying to negotiate with a shop to ship it to the UK, but I don't think my puppy dog eyes are working.

Is there anyone who could by it on my behalf, have it shipped to their Japanese address and them forward it on?

It is only a small item (a kickstand actually (and yes, I know its a lotof trouble for a kickstand)).

I am happy to covet all costs, plus pay a fee for your (their) time, in advance.

Yours hopefully, CaptCarrot.
